Three-dimensional organization of pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-based triazine framework using nanostructural spherical carbon: enhancing electrochemical performance of materials for supercapacitors.

Covalent triazine-based frameworks have attracted much interest recently due to their high surface area and excellent thermal and electrochemical stabilities. This study shows that covalently immobilizing triazine-based structures on spherical carbon nanostructures results in the organization of micro- and mesopores in a three-dimensional manner. We selected the nitrile-functionalized pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole unit to form triazine rings to construct a covalent organic framework.

The role of the isothermal bulk modulus in the molecular dynamics of super-cooled liquids.

Elastic models imply that the energy expended for a flow event in ultra-viscous matter coincides with the elastic work required for deforming and re-arranging the environment of the moving entity. This is quite promising for explaining the strong non-Arrhenius behavior of dynamic quantities of fragile super-cooled liquids. We argue that the activation volume obtained from dielectric relaxation and light-scattering experiments for super-cooled liquids should scale with the Gibbs free energy of activation, with a proportionality constant determined by the isothermal bulk modulus and its pressure derivative, as described by an earlier thermodynamic elastic model.

Correlation of the scaling exponent gamma of the diffusivity-density function in viscous liquids with their elastic properties.

Fundamental thermodynamical concepts and a solid-state point defect elastic model are used to formulate a diffusivity-density scaling function for viscous liquids. It is proved in a straightforward manner that the scaling exponent gamma describing the density scaling of the diffusivity is related with the pressure derivative of the isothermal bulk modulus.

Polymorphisms and haplotypes in TLR9 and MYD88 are associated with the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma: a candidate-gene association study.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MYD88) gene polymorphisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) through altered immunoregulatory and inflammatory responses. A candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association between TLR9 -1237T>C, TLR9 2848A>G, MYD88 -938C>A and MYD88 1944C>G gene polymorphisms and the risk for HL. The impact of haplotypes was also examined.
